The measure of a great leader is their success in bringing everyone around to their opinion twenty years later.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)

A boss creates fear. But a leader creates confidence.

A boss fixes blame. But a leader corrects mistakes.

A boss knows all. But a leader asks questions.

A boss makes work drudgery. But a leader makes it interesting.

A boss is interested in himself or herself. But a leader is interested in the group.
(Russell H. Wing)

I don't think that a leader can control to any great extent his destiny. Very seldom can be step in and change the situation if the forces of history are running in another direction.
(Richard M Nixon)

Successful leaders see their leadership position as only the beginning. Not the end-result of floating or climbing to the top. And almost without exception they have or they find a mission.
(Richard Pratt)

True leadership must be for the benefit of the followers, not the enrichment of the leaders.
(Robert Townsend)
